**We will be taking a little break from Taste of Tuesday starting next week. Ash and I both have a lot going on in our lives and need some time to focus on those things. We're planning to start it again at some point when our lives are a little calmer. Thanks for understanding.**

Ingredients:

- Pasta (I used elbow macaroni)

- 1 medium purple onion, chopped fine

- Olives, sliced

- Italian dressing

- Serrano peppers, chopped

- Salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

- Cook the pasta according to the package, drain and let cool

- Chop the onion and jalapeños

- Slice the olives

- Once the pasta has cooled, add in the Italian dressing to lightly coat the pasta (depends on amount of pasta used)

- Mix in onions, peppers and olives.

- Add salt and pepper to taste

- Mix well and refrigerate

- Enjoy!

Happy Tuesday, loves! Hopefully everyone is staying warm since the US averaged a temp of 12 degrees yesterday - BRRRR!!!! Since it's stew weather and all, we made beef stew the other weekend and it was perfection. Here's the low down.

So… I met the Kendra Scott on Monday night (12/16/13)! Seriously checked that off of my bucket list! She is the nicest person and so genuine. The "Cocktails with Kendra" event was at her Shops at Legacy {Plano} store and the event did not disappoint! There were cocktails, appetizers, desserts, a DJ and of course all of the fabulous KS jewels.

Here's a peek at what the night looked like!

Whitney and I!

We were the first 50, so we got to pop balloons to get a discount code! I got 15% off one item.. keep scrolling to see my prize!

I have been on a total detox kick lately! I've been feeling extra run-down and just sluggish in general, so I turned to Pinerest for my fix. I wanted to share with y'all a few of my favorite detox waters.

Christmas is my favorite time of year!! I love spending time with family and friends, lounging by the fire with a hot apple cider, Christmas music, and let's not forget about the decorations!

This year we started from scratch as far as Christmas decorations. We literally just had a Christmas tree. When we lived in our Townhouse, we had awesome decorations that I adored… then the pipes burst and flooded our entire first floor, which is where our storage closet was - so it was bye-bye Christmas decorations! :(

I knew all of that would change when I went to Houston's Nutcracker Market with one of my besties {and co-host of this link-up}, Ashley a few weeks ago! This place was like Canton on steroids.. it was perfection. We were in heaven.. especially after we off-loaded all of our bags so we could shop in comfort. Here's a little sneaky peak at what I bought! We still have a long way to go, but it's a start! :)

Successful shopping trip!

DIY Yarn Wrapped Letters

Dining Room Centerpiece

Holiday Scentsy Warmer!

We LOVE Poinsettias!

We can't wait to see all of your holiday decorations!! It's always inspiring to see y'all's take on holiday decor and DIY projects!

Happy Tuesday, loves! I hope everyone has been staying warm! Dallas got hit by #IceMaggedon this past weekend and the entire city basically shut down. It was pretty awesome staying in sweats all day and just relaxing and getting things done around the house. We did have to venture out on the ice to the store, since I didn't plan properly - we literally had zero groceries! Neither did the grocery stores.. but we made do.

We searched our pantry and had all the fixings for crockpot chili. So good and perfect for a 20 degree day by the fireplace!

Happy Tuesday, loves! I hope y'all had a great Thanksgiving! One of my favorite things to do on the weekends is make breakfast with Tyler. This past weekend was the first time in 6+ months that we've actually been able to cook breakfast! We're on an omelet kick, so I thought I'd share...
